Phospholipases: Link Between Membrane Phospholipids and Arachidonate Metabolites

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Science Institutes Series ((NSSA,volume 54))

Abstract

This paper deals with the relationship between phospholipid arachidonate and free arachidonate which constitutes the substrate for cyclo-oxygenase and lipoxygenase. The available evidence for the role of phospholipases in the release of arachidonate will be discussed with some emphasis on the possible regulation of this phospholipase activity.
